The standby firewall sends session logs only when the firewalls are deployed in load balancing mode. That is, when the standby firewall processes traffic, it sends session logs. If the sessions are backed up on the standby firewall, the standby firewall does not send session logs.

The standby device does not forward service traffic. However, the device properly forwards traffic sent to it, such as the ICMP packet for pinging the device interface IP address. Therefore, you can view traffic on the standby device.
